Lara Raj got emotional as she met Indian singer Shreya Goshal 14 years after their first encounter.
On Tuesday, September 29, the KATSEYE star had a full-circle fan-girl moment with one of her biggest musical inspirations at a Recording Academy event.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the 20-year-old singer shared an image from her meeting with the Saiyaara hitmaker, appearing visibly overwhelmed as she bowed in front of Ghoshal, 42, and covered her face.
The Bairi Piya songstress held Lara’s head in her hands while reacting warmly at the moment.
Lara captured the significance of her encounter in a caption, writing, “I got to speak on a beautiful panel about south asians in music today with the bollywood queen @shreyaghoshal”
“IM HONORED,” the Gabriela vocalist added.
The two singers came together for the Shaping Sounds: South Asian Music, Culture & Industry panel hosted by the Recording Academy, where they discussed South Asian representation, music and culture.
However for Lara, the appearance carried a much more personal significance.
It is pertinent to note that the KATSEYE member had actually met Ghoshal as a little girl back in 2012.
More than a decade later, she found herself meeting the veteran singer again but this time as a fellow artist and panelist.
